My mistake, apologies.

The 602's bridged ethernet port, even when the AP is in WDS repeating

Ok. I'm running some "rigged up" tests to see if it's enough. But I like the
sound of an excuse to go to 11g, even if buying 2 APs seems pricey :)

You haven't exactly said what you require, do you require 10M FD ?


Good question, I'm fairly sure it's only HD, but how can I tell in Linux
what it's running as?

The "downstairs machine" is an embedded box, the NIC is built in to the box
(hence the 10M limitation), and it has no expansion slots.

Thanks,
